New Hampshire

The flag of New Hampshire radiates Revolutionary pride and maritime heritage. Officially adopted in 1909, it features the state seal centered on a deep blue field. The seal depicts the frigate Raleigh, one of the first warships built for the Continental Navy in 1776, resting on stocks beside a rising sun—a symbol of new beginnings for the young nation. Laurel leaves and nine stars encircle the scene, marking New Hampshire as the ninth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The ship, sun, and sea together evoke the state’s industrious coastal history and its vital role in America’s founding. It’s a flag that feels alive with motion and optimism—sailing ever forward from revolutionary origins toward enduring independence.
